Great book about author’s generating strong feelings (7)
I believe the answer is:
emotive
'strong feelings' is the definition.
'emotive' can be an answer for 'feelings' (I have seen 'Stirring feelings' mean 'emotive' so perhaps 'feelings' could also mean 'emotive'). I am unsure of the 'strong' bit.
'great book about author's' is the wordplay.
'great book' becomes 'tome' (a tome is a large book).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'author's' becomes 'ive' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'tome' backwards is 'emot'.
'emot'+'ive'='EMOTIVE'
'generating' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emotive that I've seen before include "Stirring feeling" , "Stimulating to feelings" , "Deeply felt" , "Causing strong feelings" , "Arousing strong feeling" .)
